FlashForward/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

** I just assumed they thought their flashes were dreams until they heard about the GBO, at which point they try to figure out what they were dreaming about during those times. Or it could be something obvious like a vivid dream that completely vanishes the next morning, except for the flash. Because everyone remembers their flashforwards with the utmost clarity, except for cases such as future drunkenness/brain damage, it doesn't make sense to think that the flash would vanish with their dreams.

* Why is Flosso built up to be such a [[Magnificent Bastard]]? He gets all (but one) of the rings, yes. He kidnaps both Simon and Lloyd, yes. He has Lloyd's prof killed, yes. But he is such a wooden liar that it's (for me) a giant [[Wall Banger]] as to why anyone trusts him. Also, he can't even claim the right of orchestrating Annabelle's capture/the Suspect 0 footage, as we clearly see D. Gibbons' involvement in the latter, and Flosso describes himself as a "middleman", implying that he wasn't entirely behind the Annabelle's kidnap either. Not to mention his clear breaches of [[Genre Savvy]]. He invokes [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking]], but doesn't see that by doing so, he is violating [[Evil Overlord List Cellblock B|Evil Overlord List #222]]: always misdirect your opponent as to what exactly your one weakness is. And again with [[Evil Overlord List Cellblock A|#187:]] once one's [[Evil Plan]] is complete, do not laugh at the [[Unwitting Pawn|Unwitting Pawns]] and leave them alive. And don't, under any circumstances, allow yourself to be incapacitated and killed by said pawns. Especially if they are normally lightweights. He would have a hard time misdirecting Simon as to his weakness - Simon didn't figure out that he had a weak heart from his smoking, he already knew since they had known each other since Simon was a child. He also had no choice but to leave them alive, Flosso was still trying to blackmail Simon at the end so obviously they have more use for him.

** I'm not sure if it was a parody, but it was clearly intentional.

** [[Magnificent Bastard]]? Ha! He is actually a [[Smug Snake]], who may be talented and/or intelligent, but his ego is so big that he makes stupid mistakes like you would not believe. That, and it makes him so detestable that his death is totally a [[Karmic Death]]. Go, Simon!
